Re: [coLinux-users] Unresponsive keyboard/mouse on Vista

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

Henry,
I'm a litte confused.

I have modified the while(TRUE) cycle you have pointed to me.
But I have lose a lot of time because I cannot understand the following point.

To recompile colinux I have to use
- make colinux
- make package

The I move the *zip created in the dist directory, I unzip under Vista
and I can run colinux.
The problem is that the colinux-console-nt.exe that is contained in
the package (the .zip file)
does not output my log lines !
Yesterday to do the proofs I have copied directy the

src/colinux/os/winnt/build/colinux-console-nt.exe

and with this file I could see the new debug messages.

**********************
My first question is :
**********************

/home/paolo/0.7.2-fixed>ls -l $(find . -name "colinux-console-nt.exe")
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 146365 2008-05-11 09:13 ./dist/dbg/colinux-console-nt.exe

-rwxr-xr-x 1 paolo vboxusers 91648 2008-05-11 08:49
./stable-colinux-20080118/src/colinux/os/winnt/
user/install/premaid/colinux-console-nt.exe
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the dist directory I have created 2 dirs : norm and dbg.
norm contains the unzip of the daemon.....zip
dbg contains the unzip of daemon....dbg.zip
As you can see there are 2 colinux-console-nt.exe with filesize 91648.

I thought that these 2 files was the same.

What I don't understand is that these 2 files are different !
This is shown by the following command :

/home/paolo/0.7.2-fixed>diff dist/norm/colinux-console-nt.exe
stable-colinux-20080118/src/colinux/os
/winnt/build/colinux-console-nt.exe
Binary files dist/norm/colinux-console-nt.exe and
stable-colinux-20080118/src/colinux/os/winnt/build
/colinux-console-nt.exe differ

Now I know that I must use the
src/colinux/os/winnt/build/colinux-console-nt.exe

Why they are different ?
If I don't understand this I loose a lot of time to do very simple
proofs and I don't know well how I have to do.

***********************
My second question is :
***********************
I use the following line to run the colinux-debug-daemon:

colinux-debug-daemon -d -p -s prints=0,misc=1,messages=0

With the
src/colinux/os/winnt/build/colinux-console-nt.exe
I can see my debug messages on the console

Is it OK ?


***********************
My last question is :
***********************
To debug I have to use the daemon.zip or the daemon.dbg.zip ?
What I have seen is that I can also use the daemon.zip. Is it correct ?

PS:
I will try your version ....
